For the same reason that virtually all couples in commercials now are either interracial or gay.

I'm truly surprised they haven't complained about being given the shortest month.

tell me the last time you saw a black man used as an intruder on a ADT home security commercial?


I’ve seen it once and even then he was with a dumb white dude they made sure to reflect was intellectually inferior to him…I kid you not.

Ok then, you answered your own question at the beginning, white folks are that boring. Turn off your TV if it bothers you that


See your crew tries to outmaneuver any pushback with statements like this. You try to craft all sorts of narratives to checkmate any dissent or blatant observations of the left agenda based on false premises and quaint little jabs like your post here…

Sorry to bust your bubble but they have multiplied greatly.

The GWN may be without many blacks but those are the only states lacking in diversity....and they mostly feel like all blacks are due their equitable allowance, cause deplorable southern folks got rich off their labor.

The average American would be shocked to know blacks are 12% of the population.



Depends on where you live. 12% nationally? Yes. 12% in Jackson, MS? Nope. 12% in Atlanta? Nope. 12% in Juneau? Nope.

You are part of the economic class that caters to advertising for Black people.

I don't see those shows at all.

Has to be more than 12%. I heard that figure twenty years ago.

If you used daytime television and prime time television at night as a gauge to determine the ethnic makeup of society it would indicate whites are around 30-40% of US population……and you would also think +30% of US population is LGBTQ….XYZ+#!*


Whites are 50% of young people though which would be the more relevant stat.

I don't see many 65-year-olds presenting on TV even though 65-year-olds make up 17% of society.

I was wondering the other day where all the commercials find so many black people to be in them

Facts are not racist.. Neither are those who post them.

So let's look at what you're attempting to call facts though.

quote:

How are they 100% of the guests on all daytime talk shows, 100% of the stories on morning television, damn near 100% of all TV commercial actors.. and on and on and on


These are not facts. These are all false. There's not 100% of any demographic all the time or whatever damn near means(I'm doubting that's an actual measurement or quantifiable thing). As many in the thread pointed out your off by about 82% in some of these numbers..... This is just a rant about another race.....

You're correct, it's hyperbole used to highlight blacks factual over representation on TV shows and commercials.

I would be less concerned about the "racism" in this thread and more concerned why you didn't understand what I just typed. You might be autistic.

He made up stuff and went on a rant cause he saw more blacks on tv than he thinks should be there.....that's a red flag for me typically.... Especially if we're talking within 6% of matching a demographic spot on in reality...

Baby Boomers are retiring in mass. They don’t care if the whole country burns now as long as their Social Security check comes. . After they are dead, the blowback will be awesome to watch. Gen X is going to be brutal on “social justice”.

50%.

12 -> 18 is a 50% bump. That's pretty big.
